Great collection Karli! That Italian beef is calling my name. Pinning, thanks. <3
Thanks, Marissa!
Loved the sound of several of these recipes. My question is how do
I adjust the recipes to the 3 quart Instant Pot. Only being myself and
my husband I don’t need to make large amounts.
Hi Connie- just half the ingredients recommended, the cook time will stay the same.
I am buying a instant pot and need recipes can’t wait to try yours out🤗
You will love it, Shelly!! 🙂
I have had this page bookmarked for months! It pretty much IS my recipe book. 90% of the meals I make for my family have come from this list 🤣🤣!! Thank you so much Karli! The recipes are so simple and easy. Not only that but they taste amazing. My husband always comments, “It tastes like it came from a restaurant!” I figured after months of using these recipes over and over I should come say a big thank you!
I am so glad you have found this list helpful, Meagan! Keep on cooking, you rock! 🙂
Going to start trying some of these I don’t use my pot like I should hate the stages thanks
Hopefully you find a few recipes here you enjoy!
Karli, these recipes look so good. Do you have a cook book out. I would LOVE to get one.
I can not wait to try some of these.
Hi Jackie!! I don’t have a cookbook out at the moment. Maybe one day. 😉 Thanks for being awesome!!
Hi Karli, I want to say thank you so much for taking the time to test all these recipes and for sharing them with all of us. I have made several of the instant pot dump recipes now and my family loves them. You are a very generous and kind person and I just wanted you to know how much you are appreciated. Thanks again for all you do.
Babs- this comment just about brought me to tears! YOU are so very welcome. I am glad you enjoy the recipes. ❤️
Karli
I love all your recipes
The only problem is that I have to calculate nutritional values of dishes I make
Is there anyway. This could be provided for your own recipes?
In each post of my recipes it gives an estimated calculated nutritional value. Thanks Marsha!
Glad I found this post. I really like all the dump and go recipes. Dump and go is why I bought an Instant Pot.
Thanks so much for these great looking dump recipes. I haven’t had my instant pot very long, but I absolutely love it. I can tell from the pictures that I am going to enjoy your recipes. This is the inspiration I have been needing. I will cut the ingredients in half because I am cooking for one. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
